Howard Kunreuther is the foremost authority on applying behavioral economics to unlikely, high consequence events. I remain astounded that Howard's teachings are not part of the educational canon for all insurance professionals. This is important stuff!
In this episode we discuss:
* Cognitive bias and how it impacts society generally and insurance in particular
* How we might overcome cognitive bias in our decision making
* Prioritization of risk
* How politics really is the mediating force for discussing risk
* Does voter irrationality give us cause for hope?
